This one came late last week--I ordered it along with the aforementioned Ray Charles and Oliver Nelson records in the same Verve/Acoustic Sounds series.
The infamous Getz/Gilberto album. I'm happy to report the same as the other two records--the sound is top notch, and the record's surfaces are dead quiet. I heard two cuts from another version of this release this past weekend, but I'll be posting about that shortly.
I like this album my favorite track on this is "Was A Sunny Day" it reminds me a little of his performance with Brubeck on the album "Bossa Nova USA" which I also love it seems Desmond always was giving a small musical tribute to his former boss in some way on his post Brubeck albums but I enjoy it all equallyPlaying Paul Desmond's Skylark while I work.
I will say that the mastering on the SACD as well as the CD (streamable over Qobuz) sounds much better than the original LP, which is a bit dull and the highly-compressed drum kit sounds even more "smashed" on the LP. This album features Gabor Szabo (shudders slightly) on guitar (although Gene Bertoncini plays rhythm guitar throughout), and I've been enjoying DeJohnette's drum work on this record as well.
He didn't do it as much on record, but one of the party tricks Desmond like to do on live gigs was quote other songs in his solos. It got to the point where he could tell Brubeck what he was feeling at the moment as he'd quote from a handful of songs in succession and once the song titles were strung together, Brubeck would laugh over it.I like this album my favorite track on this is "Was A Sunny Day" it reminds me a little of his performance with Brubeck on the album "Bossa Nova USA" which I also love it seems Desmond always was giving a small musical tribute to his former boss in some way on his post Brubeck albums but I enjoy it all equally
